Recruiting Insights

• Linked In XRay search options, including key fields like job title will have an impact on sourcing tools. SeekOut and hireEZ have a work around.

• More on skills based hiring. When 46% of workers say their formal qualifications are not relevant to what they are doing in their current job. You need to ask yourself why the fixation on that bachelor’s degree.

• Bigger isn't better. 85% of mid-sized companies reported ZERO layoffs last year.
